It's been quite a year and so much has happened. The good and the bad have happended and we keep going, hoping that more good things happen.
One of the good things that happened to me this year is the birth of my nephew. It is one of the memorable event for me. I remember how my sister carried the pregnancy, handled all the things that came with pregnancy.
I remember not sleeping the night she went into labour. When I got the news that she had given birth, I was so happy and proud. I couldn't believe that I had become an uncle at this stage in my life.
Seeing my nephew was a special moment. He is handsome and cute. It's always fun having him around.
Another good thing that happened to me this year was getting a job that paid me well. It was more of a side hustle. This job taught me the benefit of networking. I got this job through a friend I met at an occasion. We were talking and he asked what I do for a living, I told him.
Two weeks later, he called me to tell me about an opportunity. It was a high paying one. I couldn't believe it at first. The best part about it is that it came at a time when I really needed the money.
As for the bad things that happened to me, one of them was when my phone got bad.
It was a fateful Sunday morning. I was using my phone when suddenly it went off. It was strange because it had never happened before. I tried to turn it back on but it wasn't coming on. I got worried. After so many failed attempts to turn it back on, I concluded that the phone had gone bad.
I was sad and worried. I quickly went to a place I could repair it. They did their best but the phone still did not come on. That means I spent money in vain. The worst thing about it was the important files in that phone which I forgot to backup.
It was a terrible period for me because I wasn't prepared to get another phone. Eventually, things worked out well for me and I was able to get a new phone not long after.
As I conclude, I just want to say that the good and the bad will happen, but we just have to appreciate the good and take lessons from the bad. That's how we grow and navigate our way through life.
